Gotta try it then, I’ve never used it.

Not trying to flex, just don’t like how modern cars have safety systems working in the background. The driver skill comment is in regards to how someone with more confidence will push the car harder and leave things on in the background without noticing, and in turn will run into issues with...

I’m happy with doing the pedal dance. I honestly think it comes down to driver level as well. Here’s some proof of overheating brakes due to the VSA.

Thank you! My next track day is in January, hopefully I can provide further feedback then. I'm also installing the Spoon brake lines which should help on pedal modulation and reliability.

The Rigid Collar Effect is Real!! Happy to report I got the Spoon Rigid Collars installed on the car. A local dealership was happy to install them for me and provide warranty for the install, it did not come cheap though. It only took a day for the install and instantly upon driving the car off...

This is a good point! My first ever track outings were back in 2008 at Drift Skid pad events in an S14 with a welded diff. That definitely gave me a good basis on car control before ever touching a real track.

I had touched upon this topic briefly in my build thread. Overall, I feel more comfortable just doing the pedal dance. The car is more predictable and I can be more consistent. In addition It won’t melt my rear brake pads. On the topic of alignment, I have driven the car with stock alignment...

I would not go with the 265 35 19 that’s a bigger difference from stock in overall diameter than the 255 35 19 size. If you are a casual track enthusiast I would go more for the RE71rs, as they have better road manners. The A052’s heat up quickly and will drop off after a few laps, so you will...

Yes, I actually like the tighter fit on the rim and the slightly taller sidewall. Also, in my opinion, the turn-in feel is sharper with the 255’s.

Appreciate it, I’m getting them installed this week.

lol I’m getting a quote today.

Excited to get them installed. My buddy just got them on his FL5 and he said it’s a significant difference!

Some slight improvements coming up..

Quick Mod Update Went out of my way and got myself some fancy Spoon Sports brake lines and Rigid Collars. Shooting to have them installed before my next track day. Also, I have already replaced my delaminated A052's with the king of cheater tires the RE71RS's.

255 35 19, Same as the A052’s that I had.

Yup!

Just got a set of new rubbers!!

32-33 fronts and 35-36 rears when hot.

I agree, I've done only a couple of events with them but it's just not worth it.

5-6ish Hard Earned Track Days!! My A052's have finally given their last push laps. In retrospective I have nothing to complain about, the tires lasted 6 track days and about 8k daily driven miles. I think that's a win! The following pics were taken from this past Sunday at the track after my...
